5.0 out of 5 stars
Best Buy I ever made!!!,
By "snipe-hunter" (Greenwood, Indiana United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Whisky: The Water of Life - Uisge Beatha (Hardcover)
When I first came across this book while shopping for Christmas presents, I thought oh I would have to come back here in January and pick up a copy of this for my study. Then just as I clicked to go on to something else I noticed that Amazon.com was almost out of this item. Okay we have to get it now. When this book arrived I was completely taken aback with how much more complete this book was than most I have looked at on the subject of whiskey, while still being enjoyable to read. This book is just not limited to American Whiskey, which happens to be my favorite, but has given the reader the chance to learn about Whiskey makers from around the world. I know now that my personal favorite Makers Mark can now give a little room in my home bar to some of the other fine whiskey introduced to me by this book.

Great for the money!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Whisky: The Water of Life - Uisge Beatha (Hardcover)
As a sommelier, I'm always looking for bargain books. As there are a multitude of wine and spirit books out there which I eventually buy, it's always refreshing to find a book under 8 bucks with such great content. Helen Arthur does a great job with the culture of whisky; from it's beginings to the present. I recommend this book to anybody wanting to know more about whisky, its culture, and its mystique
